Washington D.C. - Babydog Justice, the English Bulldog and ever-present companion of West Virginia Governor Jim Justice, became the unexpected star of a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on Tuesday. Her presence drew smiles and positive comments from both sides of the aisle.
Governor Justice, a Republican, often brings Babydog to public events, and the bulldog has become a recognizable figure in West Virginia politics. During the hearing, Babydog sat quietly beside the Governor, occasionally glancing around the room, much to the amusement of those present.
"She humanizes all of us," commented one senator, echoing the sentiments of many who appreciated the lighthearted moment.
